Walking Santa Barbara
Being keen on the zombie theme as well as post-apocalypse, she avoided this series for some time - I was not thankful for a clip, the actors are certainly ordinary-looking. Recently, my list of zombie films begun to thin out and I rubbed my hands, tuned to the drama and non-trivial plot, sat down to see the earliest episode. Unfortunately, sheer disappointment with some rabies. Frenzy from high ratings and loud positive best movies reviews. Not surprisingly, I help keep the opinion of people who write praises to myself, but no doubt about the maturity on the thought of these people. Yes, it you can see that this is a film. But guys - this can be a a higher level directing and script below the floor. Has mastered the very first two installments of the first season, there isn't a desire to seem further.
From the first minutes Needed to wind. I enjoy atmospheric films, dull landscapes, whipping up a tragic atmosphere ... This may not be here. Neither the digital camera work, nor the inventory perfectly located at the frame and other associated things helped. The scenes are drawn out to the point of exhaustion. A good negative is the first part of the series. The sense that they can wanted to cheat me never left me - the theory was stripped away from the good film'28 days later ', with the creators'imagination, apparently, quite tight. Next is the leading character. Typically, it seemed that an adult man - his wife, children - behaves himself so stupidly, but from his stupid actions and inappropriate behavior the hand itself literally magnetized towards the forehead. Yes, there is no need to generally be heroic, but to behave rationally, a minimum of with a drop of courage and ingenuity, and it could be much better (his escape to the city with zombies, for a horse, such as a sheriff's deputy is really a separate fail).
Regarding the acting: weak. It appears as though a drama, nonetheless they don't care. Neither fish nor fowl. The leading character has one emotion - tension.
Action is seen in micro-sizes, several interesting decisions have got place - will predictability kills all things in the bud. Not interested.
What the results are in the series itself is not clear. It seems like it should be as planned, but it really works in an unsatisfactory way. Why suddenly zombies, where, when - not less than some information. But no, we're shown the connection of an individual, their idle chatter and running around. This looks like it's the primary motive with the series. The heroes, having deterred their brains, do just about anything but try to outlive and adapt to the changed world. If someone came here due to zombies, don't waste your time.
P. s. I see that negative comments are not particularly favored here - there're simply mercilessly minus. However give in excess of convincing facts - like endless cartridges, food, gasoline, the hopeless stupidity of heroes, short sleeves ... Seriously, with the knowledge that a zombie bite is 100% fatal, would you walk downtown in the thin shirt? ... Or knowing that zombies react for the sound, loudly call their friend? ...
It would seem a trifle - but the normal perception of the picture consists of the trifles.
